MOROCCAN-SPICED ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add carrots to the baking sheet and drizzle with oil, salt, paprika, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, and cayenne (optional), and toss well to combine.
• Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly browned. Serve hot as is, or with tahini, Za'atar, or our Zesty Dill Yogurt Sauce. These would also make a delicious addition to our Ultimate Mediterranean Bowl.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Not freezer friendly. Reheat in a 350 F (176 C) oven, in the microwave, or on the stovetop over medium heat until hot.

MOROCCAN SPICY CARROTS

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together raisins, saffron, and water and let mixture stand 30 minutes to soften raisins.
• While raisin mixture is standing, cut carrots into 3-inch lengths and, using side of a grater with teardrop-shaped holes, grate sides of carrots, discarding woody center cores. In a small heavy skillet stir together coriander seeds, cumin, and oil and cook over moderate heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• In a bowl toss together carrots, raisin mixture, spices, cilantro, pepper, and salt to taste.
